    Where can I get plastic push pins for trim?

    I broke all of mine taking a gauge out in my A piller. The holes were 3/16" round and I am just looking to replace 4 of them. Where are they available? I tried looking on the internets and I failed to find anything close to what I was looking for.

    Anybody?

Plus they never wear out.

    I disagree.

    if you have decent peices of the old ones a lot of parts stores have them and could match them up. And by parts stores I mean Napa, carquest. . . Not fucking checker and fucking vatozone. otherwise its off to the dealer.

      If I recall I picked up my replacment push pins from Ace Hardware. There weren't the exact size but they fit with a little extra muscle.

                Carquest would work too. I believe a company called au-ve-co or something like that is the maker of such oe style fasteners. Find out who deals their product in your area.

                  Not sure if this matters, but they were the ones that came with my autometer 3 gauge a-piller.

                          Just to clarify, they are just tiny headed bastards. The heads are only like 3/8" wide if that.
